Tiger teeth canines?!
Question:
Tiger teeth canines?
My upper right lateral and upper left first bicuspid are oddly tilted and look like little fangs or 'tiger teeth' as my friend says and she thinks they're cute.
I'm not so sure, i like them as they're unique and quirky but its coming to the time when i need to think about having a brace to correct them. I don't know whether to change them or leave them.
Do you think they are unattractive? And should i leave them or have them corrected before its too late to do so?
Civil answers only please
Answers:
I had exactly the same - they're called 'peg-shaped' laterals. Braces won't fix them - the treatment I had involved the teeth being filed down and caps being placed over the end of the teeth to make them even.
Not painful but takes time (lying in a dentist chair isn't much fun!)and could be expensive if you go to a private dentist. But if you're happy with them, then why bother changing them?
